Nice to see another portuguese doing well in foreign leagues, in particular a ex-Boavista one Hope he does a great season and reaches a big german club!!! This was Sousa's first match for Hannover and he was nº10, and that will be his number for the full season!

Goo-goo boy: That sure is umbalanced, LOL

Filipower: welcome, coz!

Theoretically , i must agree with this judgement... but let's not be too dogmatic , shall we ?

I never really saw too many from this three players , for making a clear and fundamented judgement ... i saw Diego in the late Copa America , and he didn't impress me much , but he was not a starter... didn't play that much ... but i'm aware the reputation he have in Brasil... but's let wait and see... as for Rogério , he too has a solid reputation back in Brasil... but... again... let's wait... and Everson... well at least he did score a great goal in his career ( from that news that i saw in rtp ... ) ... who knows , maybe he could be a good player too...

Knowing that Diego have a bigger reputation and bigger potential... spite of that... let's wait ...

I wonder how long before he gets a call-up to the NT, he certainly deserved to be at Euro2004 based on his performances last season.

 

[Vinnie Jones]

Well it´s hard for Ricardo Sousa to be called with all the prima-donas. Maybe Scolari will give him a chance. But i doubt it. Scolari always tries to achieve this diplomatic balance with call ups from all the top portuguese clubs, with players that do not deserve it but are called up just to please ppl and take spots with no real influence. Players like Ricardo Sousa unfortunately don´t have strong lobbies in our Nt to pressure for their call ups. He must reach "Maradona" status to have a chance.

Sad but true..

I wanna see Romeu get another shot at the NT, he hasn't scored much in recent times but I actually think he's one of our best forwards, he's strong physically and aggressive in the box, which Pauleta clearly wasn't this summer (..I know, some of you think I'm crazy), but you're right Vinnie, I too think it's next to impossible for a player from a club like Guimaraes to get a chance with Scolari in charge.

 

[Vinnie Jones]

We don´t really need Romeu. We need to "apostar" in Makukula and Hugo Almeida. I really think that they will fit in our future nt´s since they have those long lost striker qualities that we have been missing in the last decade or so.

 

[Virgo]

Romeu is too old already. He's going in his 30s soon I think. We just have to hope Postiga develops and Nuno Gomes gets his killer touch back and score 20+ goals.

Well those guys definatly have the physical qualities I think our NT needs, especially Makukula. It was so frustrating this past summer watching Pauleta get easily shouldered off the ball by defenders.

 

[Funky--K]

But still, Ricardo Sousa deserves his chance... He did a terrific season last year... I'm being honest here, I consider him the best Portuguese set-piece taker! And he was the Superliga top portuguese scorer last year...

Hey guys, i'm new here and i like to congratulate all of you by the hight quality of your sigs.

BTW, Luis Filipe will play for Marítimo next year and Rogério will play Sporting next 3 years.

Rogerio is going back to Brazil court because Palmeiras has first option if he left Santos, and they want him.

 

[Virgo]

we might have Derlei playing for the national team soon, so that shouldering off stuff will be less likely to happen.

 

[Vinnie Jones]

Lol all this trouble with Rogério...who wants to bet that after all these problems he will suck ass?

Futebol Internacional

Jardel assina pelo Newell’s
Mário Jardel é, desde hoje jogador do Newell’s Old Boys. O avançado brasileiro, que recentemente tinha deixado o Palmeiras sem sequer ter jogado, comprometeu-se com a equipa argentina por uma época, com mais outra de opção.



ASF
Jardel revelou que o conselho de Ricardo Rocha, antigo defesa do Sporting que também representou o Newell’s, foi determinante na sua decisão. Embora não tenha sido apresentado oficialmente, Supermário já se treinou, durante a tarde de hoje, com alguns dos seus novos companheiros. «Não sou um avançado rápido como Ronaldo, mas sou um animal de área. Quero ser campeão», disparou Mário Jardel, que pretende relançar a carreira depois das más experiências no Bolton (ainda detentor do passe), no Ancona e no Palmeiras.

O presidente do Newell’s, Eduardo Lopez, tinha prometido a contratação de um avançado de renome internacional com experiência europeia. Poucos acreditavam, porém, que pudesse ser Mário Jardel, que goza de elevada reputação na Argentina. Talvez por isso, o treinador Americo Gallego não cabia em si de contente.

Contactado por «A BOLA», o assessor de imprensa do Bolton, Daniel Reben, disse desconhecer que o brasileiro tenha assinado pelo Newell’s.



Go Jardel!!!

 

[Aveirenses]

O avançado sérvio-montenegrino Gluscevic não vem para o Beira-Mar, ao contrário do que havia sido anunciado anteontem pelo presidente Mano Nunes. A confirmação desta notícia foi avançada precisamente pelo líder do clube aveirense, que não quis, contudo, anunciar as razões que levaram a este inesperado (?) desfecho. A iniciativa do cancelamento da transferência partiu, porém, do Beira-Mar, uma vez que o jogador continuava disponível e interessado em ingressar no futebol português. Entretanto, o treinador Mick Wadsworth já definiu as prioridades para reforçar o plantel - "número 10, extremo-esquerdo e ponta-de-lança" - e Mano Nunes prometeu trazer esses jogadores no início da próxima semana, revelando mesmo que vai contratar "três internacionais" para colmatar essas lacunas detectadas pelo técnico inglês. "Vão chegar o mais tardar na terça-feira. Não podemos estar com pressa, pois agora é que começam a surgir os bons negócios. Mas os jogadores que pretendemos já estão definidos e a conclusão das negociações está preso por um fio", referiu o presidente, adiantando ainda que a estreia dos novos jogadores deve acontecer no jogo da próxima quarta-feira, frente ao Boavista. Wadsworth discursou antes do presidente, mas em total sintonia, revelando, contudo, que preferia já ter o plantel definido. "O meu trabalho seria facilitado. Mas não queremos falhar nas contratações. Temos de trazer os jogadores certos e é isso que vamos fazer", atirou. Ao que tudo indica, e como tem sido apanágio durante esta pré-temporada, os reforços devem chegar do estrangeiro, até porque Mano Nunes só admite contratar no mercado nacional no caso de se tratar de um "craque internacional", o que não parece muito crível nesta altura da temporada. Mick tem outra explicação. "Gosto muito dos jogadores portugueses, mas a sua vinda não depende de mim. De qualquer das formas, é difícil encontrar jogadores bons e baratos no mercado português", concluiu o técnico.
-------
3 internationals(unless something should go wrong, which it appears not) by next Tuesday...

I hope by internationals they mean people who get capped...

But it's good they realize we need to get someone to replace Petrolina, Areias, and Whinjard.
